NICK CANNON officially filed for divorce from MARIAH CAREY on December 12th, but the news just broke on Friday, along with a few other details. First of all, when they got together, Mariah was worth around $150 MILLION . . . while Nick brought less than $500,000 to the table. He's made several million since then, but at least some of that probably happened because he was Mr. Mariah Carey. We don't know how they settled things, but they did have a prenup. There's also a confidentiality clause. Mariah has to pay $500,000 if she violates it, while Nick only has to fork over 250K. Probably because he was worth so much less when it was written.

On "The View" Friday, guest host NAYA RIVERA fired some shots at JUSTIN BIEBER over his constant shirtlessness. She said, quote, "It's annoying. You look like a [D-bag]. Girls don't want to date guys that are constantly in a mirror. Like, stop. Go fix something in the house. That's hotter."

Lifetime's WHITNEY HOUSTON movie on Saturday night will be followed by a special called "Bobby Brown: Remembering Whitney". It's what it sounds like: BOBBY BROWN talking about Whitney.

In a preview clip, Bobby says both he and Whitney were unfaithful . . . quote, "There was infidelity in the marriage, yes, on both parts. Both of us cheated on each other, period. So that's hard to swallow for both of us. I just think when two people that love each other as much as we loved each other, when they start drifting apart different people come into the situation, into the scenario, and we make mistakes."

CHRIS BROWN's probation was revoked yesterday because he traveled to San Jose for a show without permission. Here's what you're probably going to LOVE about this: Chris had been on probation since 2009 for assaulting RIHANNA . . . and was only EIGHT DAYS AWAY from completing it.

DENZEL WASHINGTON is America's favorite actor, according to the annual Harris Poll. He's followed by John Wayne, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, and Tom Hanks.

The widow of the dead ex-boyfriend JENNIFER ANISTON recently talked about letting get away is upset that Jennifer is seemingly using his name for publicity while she's out pimping her new movie. She says, quote, "It pains me to read the headlines that allude to her losing him tragically when in fact she was not present during his long and difficult illness."

"In Touch Weekly" has a Photoshopped picture of BRUCE JENNER as a woman on its cover . . . and claims he's going to come out as transgender this year with a cover story in the LGBT magazine "The Advocate". Kris Jenner is said to be outraged with “In Touch Weekly” over the photo.

NASCAR driver KURT BUSCH is either a little BONKERS, or he has a VERY WILD taste in women. And chances are, BOTH are true.To make a long story short: Kurt's ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll claims he smashed her head against a wall three times last fall, so she wants a court to issue a restraining order, and force him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation. They've been in court this week . . . and this story is flying COMPLETELY off the rails. Here's what you need to know: Kurt claims Patricia is a trained ASSASSIN, who's dispatched on covert missions around the world. He says, quote, "Everybody on the outside can tell me I'm crazy, but I lived on the inside and saw it firsthand." She's supposedly talked to him about how she would take down drug lords with long-range sniper rifles and close combat tactics . . . like using knives and poison. One time, Patricia told him she was a mercenary who killed people for a living and showed him pictures of bodies with gunshot wounds.

The very next day, Patricia left in camouflage gear, and returned later wearing a trench coat . . . over an evening gown . . . that was covered in BLOOD and other stuff. Other times, she'd come back bruised up.

He also said Patricia once told him that a female character in "Zero Dark Thirty" was a composite of her and other women. Of course, the movie is about the CIA's hunt for Osama bin Laden.

Amazingly, a personal assistant of Kurt's backed up some of this, saying that Patricia once told him she was an assassin for the U.S. government, and added, quote, "I take down foreign governments. I own Washington."

Now, if you worked in intelligence . . . and possibly even killed some people . . . wouldn't you want to keep that on the 'down low'? Because assuming that is the case, Patricia seems to be TERRIBLE at keeping her side gig under wraps. Seriously, it sounds like she can't stop blabbing about it. For the record, Patricia says all this is "ludicrous," but Kurt did NOT make it up. Instead, it's the plot of a SCREENPLAY she's been writing for the past eight years.

Anyway, Kurt admits to getting a little physical with Patricia when she refused to leave his motor home, after showing up unannounced. He says he, quote, "cupped his hands around her face," but denies smashing her head against any walls.

He says she's a rejected ex-girlfriend out for revenge, not a victim of abuse. Oh, and one last interesting note: Kurt claimed that Patricia had barged into his motor home after he had watched the 1997 BRAD PITT movie "Seven Years in Tibet" following a race.

He said, quote, "It was a moving experience . . . It was a spiritual movie. There were some tearjerker moments." In a text to Patricia that night, Kurt told her that he was crying, lying on the floor and didn't know "which way was up."

Patricia claims she went over to check on him after several worrisome texts . . . however, Kurt says he was fine . . . and that he was NAKED when Patricia showed up, which added to his frustration that she wouldn't leave.

Last year, CHARLIZE THERON convinced SEAN PENN to give up all his guns. Well, at least the ones he kept in the, quote, "continental United States." He had all 65 of those guns turned into a sculpture, which he auctioned off to raise money for Haiti. (Anderson Cooper bought it for $1.4 million.) At a pre-"Golden Globes" event, Sean was asked if he misses those guns. He said, quote, "I think guns are not something to be missed. Especially, on a serious note, when we talk about it this week [and] this tragic thing that happened in Paris. I'd like to see more guns go to sculpture."

For the third year in a row, ELLEN DEGENERES has topped a Harris Interactive poll on America's Favorite TV Personalities. Also for the third year in a row, "NCIS" star MARK HARMON followed at #2. Jimmy Fallon came in at number 3.

George Clooney is known to enjoy a harmless prank between friends, and on Sunday night at the Golden Globes, he nearly fell victim to one. Bill Murray apparently had a plan to prank his pal as he received his Cecil B. DeMille Award, and would have provided the biggest highlight of the night, but he ultimately decided against it. Apparently Clooney found out about it and told him "no way."
